It would be nice to replace the dizzy, but I'm already splurging to 
put on the new carb.
(The joy from how my IH runs with a new carb is worth every penny, my 
success at rebuilding 40+ y.o. carbs is limited at best, and my 
studio apartment wouldn't smell very good for a long time...)

The governor works from the distributor to the carb, that is, action 
in the dizzy controls the carb.  (It's more complicated routing, but 
that's the effect.)  Weights in the dizzy spin out and affect airflow 
through a circuit which runs carb-dist-carb.  As the dizzy speeds up 
to a preset speed, it effectively cuts back fuel flow.

So if I just plug the lines into and out of the dizzy to keep dirt 
out, and cut away the rest with the old carb, I _think_ I'm going to 
be just fine, and the new owner can decide to replace the dizzy.

All this is based on a quick read of the service manual, which only 
shows the Delco model, not the Holley which I believe I have.  But I 
can't imagine it's very different.

My best,
Joel
